03-04 Friday @ 4:00-8:00pm | Total Networking Seattle Presented by Every Major Women’s Networking Association in the Greater Puget Sound
Location: Qwest Field Event Center (2nd Floor), Seattle
About: This is a different kind of event! Here, there are no talking heads up on the stage ‘speechifying’. Instead, networking experts Gayle Hallgren-Rezac and Judy Thomson, co-authors of Work the Pond!, throw out a thought-provoking, timely and challenging question which each table gets to discuss. Each pre-selected table host makes sure that everyone has a chance to share their thoughts. After a heartfelt discussion (this is a ‘peel back the onion’ experience), each table host shares with the rest of the audience their table’s most interesting conversations, challenges and solutions. Then Gayle and Judy start connecting the dots. It’s about bonding, sharing, making new contacts and finding solutions in difficult business times. Also includes admission to the NW Women’s Show, prizes, swag bag, appetizers and wine tasting.
Average attendance: 200+
